Unity Brings Power,

q. +. Pindell. national president of the
Travellers Protective ASSOCIATION, accom-
panied by M. Silverton, of Chicago, has
been in Minneapolis and st. Paul since
Tuesday. until last evening at $50, at
which time he left over the Wisconsin
Central for Milwaukee, where MIR. Pin
dell is to address the manufacturers and
jobbers of Wisconsin, at 2;3O to-day, on
the question of cooperation of the trav-
elers and employers on all questions
pertaining to the mutual interests of
both.
MIR. Pndell, while here, called on a
great many Of the jobbers of the Twin
Cities and said he received the greatest
encouragement and strong assurances Of
the cooperation of our people who en-
ploy travelling men, that they would lend
their moral support aud endorsements,
and that they believed that every COM
mercial traveller should belong to the or.
ganization, some going SO far as to say
that they did not want man who would

The Pillar of Fire.

The electric lights upon the top of the
courthouse tower nightly attract attention
and excite praise. The lighting of streets
by the excuse for gas has been so unsatls-
factory that the public has been eager
for some change. The experiment of the
tower system of lighting is no longer AN
experiment in many cities but has been
satisfactorily demonstrated and made
permanent and successful. Night before
last those who had occasion to be out
during the heavy thunder storm had n
peculiar sensation in noticing the rain
pouring down, the lightning and the
thunder, and yet the moonlight appar-
entity resting peacefully over lawns and
streets, as if the moon could shine
and the rain pour down at the
same time. The electric lights
as thus placed send their rays
distance Of about 900 feet, so that a
shadow is made by the light For q dis
tance of 1000 feet in every direction from
the court house the light is strong, and
where not interfered with by foliage or
buildings, one can read an ordinary
newspaper easily by its hight within that
distance. Last evening the city officials
and ethers were taken IN carriages by
Mr.. Officer and given chance to OBJ.
serve the effects of this light. The re.
suit of the exhibition is very satisfactory.
and it seems that with several such
towers this city can be lighted in an ac-
ceptable manner.

Robbed Again.

j. Dickey, the we'll known merchant,
seems to have more than his share OF
misfortunes. He has suffered from fire
and flood, and several times from thieves.
Yesterday he was again victimized.
When he went to dinner he left in
charge of the store his son and his
daughter. just before leaving he made
some change from large pocketbook
which contained his valuable papers and
money. This pocketbook he keeps in a
drawer in the safe. After making the
change, he put the pocketbook back In
its place, and locked the drawer. He
threw the keys into drawer In his desk.
There was a man in the store at the
time, and the theory is that this man
must have watched the proceedings, and
improved the first opportunity of helping
himself to the pocketbook. During Mr..
Dickey's absence there were several who
came into the store. One customer
wanted something which necessitated Mr..
Dickey son going into the basement. and
at the same time the daughter had to be
IN the front Of the store to wait on some
other customer there. 1t is supposed

promising to use their influence to get
their men to join.
Yesterday at 3 O'Clock p. m. Mr.. Pin
dell addressed the Jobbers' union by re-
quest. and again received a hearty recep-
ton. Before leaving Mr.. p said he was
more than pleased with the reception ex-
tended him, the amount of applications
for membership obtained and the mum.
ber of old members reinstated, and that
from the knowledge he possessed he
could assure the commercial travellers of
the northwest that il they would
give the association their help
BY increasing their. member,
ship, all the concessions asked
for from railroads could and would be
obtained at once. Where the member
ship is large, a number of roads have
already pulled out of the pool and put
commercial mileage on sale at two
cents per mile. "But, said he. 1--WE must
have members and working members
before we get or can ask for concessions.
There are 5000 commercial travellers in
Minnesota now, two-thrds of them
ought to be members within the next
sixty days. If they are, can assure
them, that within ninety days all privi
leges lost by the interstate commerce
law will be regained."

Boston Traveller London Letter. Our
pretty countryw oman, Mrs. James
Brown Potter, looks pale and weary. She
recites at all the fashionable houses and
is social success. The princess of
Wales is very kind to her. But every
one speaks of the unkindness of Mrs.
Bancroft, who is reported to have really
scolded her behind the scenes, saying:
"You are an American fraud and an
American fool. thought you were to be
a society draw, but you are nothing OF
the sort" Such-at least Is the on dit of

speaks of Mrs. btter with respect and

Rev. w. A. Sinclair and Wife Put Out
Of n First Glass Coach.

OF First Glass Coach.
New York World: Rev. w. A.
Sinclair, Ii tall, tine-looking colored man
of genuine African eXtraction,is the latest
Georgia railroads. He arrived here yes
tcrday from Augusta, Ga. In stating his
grievance to-day he said
II am native of Georgetown county,
minister of the Congregational church
and doctor of medicine, having recently
received my diploma from a medical col
lege ut Nashville, Tenn. After receiving
my degree my wife and l left Nashville
for home on unlimited first class tickets.
We got along all right until we reached
Chattanooga, where we changed cars,
going into first class coach on the
Western Il Atlantic railroad, in which we
were entitled to seats according to the
tickets that we held.
1.-The conductor came to me and or
dered us to take seats IN a second class
car, which was the smoking car. l re-
fused to obey his commands, which he re-
pcated several times. About an hour or
an hour and half after we left Chatta-
nooga the conductor stopped the train.
He ordered me to leave the car, which l
again refused to do when he called three
men to his assistance, seized me and
forced me ont of the first class coach into
the smoking car. One of the tram men
struck me a severe blow on my breast and
after 1 had been forced into the smoking
car some very rough language was used.
The porter was ordered to remove our
baggage to the smoking car, where my
wife and remained until we reached
Atlanta. At Atlanta We took our seats in
q second class car on the Georgia rail
road, although we had first class tickets,
not caring to again go through the trouble
we had had on the Western Il Atlantic
road. When we reached Augusta and
struck the South Carolina railway we
had no further trouble. The second class
coach on the Western IL Atlantic road
was very dirty and the atmosphere III it
was sitting, so dense was the tobacco
smoke in which We were compelled to
sit"
DIR. Sinclair is very sensible and self
respecting man. He had several letters
with him to prove his identity, one from
H. f. Fraser, president of the George
town bank, congratulating him on his
marriage and inclosing a check with
| which to buya present for his wife, and a
letter from A. Nj. Handy, principal OF
| the Winyah high school. congratulating
him on having completed his medical
course. He was in a good humOr, but
| spoke with much feeling about the treat
ment to which he had been subjected
| Although he would like TO obtain some
redress for his wrongs, he did not know
| where to 90 or how to get it,

A Bank Messenger Robbed.

A messenger from the Citizens bank
was yesterday making his rounds carry
ing long pocketbook in which were
drafts and checks to the amount of sew.
eral hundred dollars. This pocketbook
was sneaked from his pocket by some
nimble etingered thief. Among the ac
cepted drafts was one on John Temple.
ton, the chief of the fire department, and
this was brought into his store by some
one, who wanted to collect the money for
it. Templeton was not in at the time,
and hence the draft was not cashed. The
pocketbook contained only papers, the
payment on which was stopped at once
by the bank, and those concerned noti-
fed, so that there will be no loss The
thief will get nothing, but the bank and
others suffer some Inconvenience and
trouble.

that the thief, knowing where the pocket.
book was, slipped in the rear door and
sDeaked 1t out while the son and daugh-
ter were engaged. MIR. Dickey, on his re-
turn to the store, took the keys out OF the
drawer in his desk and unlock ed the
drawer IN the safe, where he had put the
pocketbook, but 1t was gone. There wers
many valuable papers, receipts, notes,
etc., in the pocketbook, which can be OF
value only to the owner. There was,
however, 1900 or $500 in cash. bills, gold,
etc.. and three checks. Two of these
checks were Union Pacific checks, one in
favor of f. w. Lyon, for $74.75, the other
In favor of James Carter for $41.3 The
third check was on G.. Ii. Hutchins, OF
Chicago, was in Mr.. Dickey's favor and
was signed by j. &. Woodward. 1t was
for $50. The payment of these checks
have been stopped. Thus far no clue has
been obtained to the thief, but 1t seems
quite probable that the papers may be in
some way recovered, as they are of no
value to to the fellow who took them.

TO A FARMER ON MS wIFE's DEATH.


Poor heart bereaved,
What can God give to thee
To compensate for what He took away?
Oft hast thou grieved;
But then she grieved with thee,
And now alone thou first feel'st sorrows sway
All through the day
Shall Sorrow walk with thee;
While the slow oxen draw the heavy pillow,
Thy lonely way
OF life thou seemst TO see
In the dark furrow that thou treadest now.
When sinks the sun,
And homeward thou dost turn,
How sinks thy heart to see the closed door
Where Ia the one
For whom thy heart doth yearn?
Shall her smile bid thee welcome 10 more?
The dry leaves sigh
Beneath thy heavy tread;
Tho sunsets golden glow fades into night;
AS thou draw'st nigh
The very house seems dead,
Nor greets thee with its wonted cheerful light.

Cultivation of tile Voice.

Did you notice her voice ?" asked school
teacher of friend, after pretty young lady
had stopped in the street to speak to her.
Yes it wasvery low and sweet"
u spent years, when she was in my school,
in trying TO bring it down. 1t was pitched
dear me! / shouldn't dare to tell you how
high, for you wouldn't believe me. l sue
ceeded better in lowering it than did with
some other similarly affected pupils, because
she constantly tried to help me.'
"But madame is not an American" said
French woman to one ofour society queens
with, perhaps, something less than French
politeness. "She has not the American
voice"
For American women are, unfortunately,
too justly credited with nasal or sharp voices.
II Is an astonishing fact that most people
make no effort to improve the quality of the
voice in speaking
Everybody" says successful music
teacher, can learn to sing, after fashion,"
That theory has been so universally &C.
cepted that even persons possessed of mod-
cum ofmusical talent are DESTROYS of cult
waiting it. Yet speaking, part of the nee
essary business of life is left to regulate it.
SELL We squeak or pipe, as the case may be,
all the time deploring within our souls the mis-
fortune ofpossessing bad voice, but allow
ing Nature to take care of herself People
are not grammatical without taking care and
thought in the use Of language; why should
they expect to command musical tones with
out equal painstaking.
